Being the heart of an 18-hole golf course, the clubhouse functioned as a beginning and end point for every golfer's journey. The building architecture faces two approaching directions, generating two different atmospheres. The front facade enhances hospitality while the back sides offer a sporty and elegant vibe. The architect makes the whole massing volume of the ground floor sunken behind the surrounding landscaping lawn sloping up to the second-floor level. The rest of the building envelope expose as modestly as an outcrop, spreading horizontally in an eco-friendly way.
The front facade consists of two rectangular wings of randomly pivoted wood grain aluminum fins, meeting up at the drop-off lobby forming an obtuse angle. This orientation enhances the greeting look on the front, with a thin stainless steel entrance canopy glowing as the center. The front facade conveys a rustic feeling of a wooden farm fence the savanna while the back sides, on the contrary, feature iconic architecture using a thin metallic roof louver ring landing softly onto the sloped lawn surface. This centripetal louver roof represents a golf swing circle drawn on the sky, weaved into the landscape, offering a panoramic view of the golf course.
The vertical facade fins on the front and the circled louver roof on the back equipped the building with an adequate sun shading system for a building located in one of the most extreme weather areas in Vietnam.
